On October 18th 2017, John McDonnell, the Managing Director of Tito’s International, his wife<br />
Cathy, <strong>Fisher</strong> Board of Trustee members, President Alan Ray, and graduate students celebrated the official<br />
opening of the new McDonnell Family MBA and Entrepreneurship Center, located at 111 Beacon Street.<br />
